Clicking CV joints after swap

I recently did an axle swap from an 84 non-turbo (DOA) into an 82 turbo. The 82 just had bad boots, but I had these 2 recently re-packed and re-booted axles from the 84 lying around, so I put them in the 82. I checked first with the site sponsors to be sure the axle part numbers were the same for both cars. And they were. I also laid both axles side by side to check that the length was the same. These axles did not make any noise what-so -ever on the original 84 car. But now the 82 has a lot of the CV joint clicking noise on tight turns. I did put plenty of grease in the inner drivers during installation. Oh, I also did all ball joints and tie rod ends at the same time. I can live with the noise for now, but I am hoping this won't tear things up down there. Thanks all...
